During the past week foreign advices have
been of more pacific character. But Thurs
days dispatches renewed the rumors of war,
and reaflirmed warlike probabilities. The
tenor of the foreign news is so contradictory
as to be utterly unreliable. Many of the war
rumors are in the interest of stock gamblers,
and some proceed from the buncombe speeches
of politicians, such as were made in the

WHAT a MONKEY WRENCH Is.-A
tsmorkey-wrench" is not SO named
because it is a handy thing to mon
KEY with, or for any kindred reason.
"Monkey" is not its name at all, but
"Moncky." Charles Monoky, the IN
ventor of it, sold his patent fer $4,000
and invested the money in house in
Williamsburg, Kings county, where
he now lives. Iron, a London trade
paper, says that $4,000 dozen Moncky
wrenches are exported to England
annually. The tool makers and ma
chinists of Europe, says Iron, such as
Krupp, of Germany, Whitworth q
Armstrong of England, and Hotch-
kiss of France, with their vast re-
sources, are unable to produce
Moncky or screw bar wrench equal
to the American wrenches, and con-
sequently they have to import these
tools from the States On the same
subject the same journal continues:
"Our American contemporaries have
every cause to be surprised at the as
tonishing fact that thousands OF tons
of scrap iron are every year taken to
the United States and there con.
verified into the simplest of American
manufactures--the sad or laundry
iron - and then exported back to Eu
rope at no small profit. There is nc
one corner OF Europe whore the
American small cast hardware is no
